  • moussorgsky is by far the greatest under-rated composer in classical music. for the little he composed, he has already achieved musical immortality...what a man of musical genius...a man whose music speaks to everyone's heart

  • Kissin, màximo interprete actualmente de Cuadros de una exposiciòn, de Modesto Mussorgsky

  • please don't judge me too harshly for what i am about to say, for this is only my opinion and not a general statement about what I believe to be the understated genius of Mussorgsky. Here it comes ... I adore most of the pieces to bits, especially catacombs, but it's the promenades that i find dull and out of place ... the little research that i have done shows that these weren't even created by mussorgsky. .

  • oh baby

  • He's so amazing he may very well be the best pianist in the word.

    I have two different recording of brass bands doing this, and they do it at about this speed. I think the strings in Ravel's arrangement just make it broader naturally. I like it at the faster pace. It's much faster than an actual walking tempo, but I like to think of the first promenade at a brisk walking pace. All of the actual movements will vary in tempo because they're not supposed to represent walking, so Gnomus, Bydlo, etc. are all up to the discretion of the performers.

  • @SpringInTheSchool I guess it would be disrespectful to mark I LIKE your commentary, but I agree with you indeed. It`s about exploring the experience, not just about "finding" data or achievements, though that might be useful for other important purposes. We need to learn once again how to enjoy and share art....

  • @evg217865 Oh, so he was Russian? cool, thanks

  • @TheFantasticCorndog He is Jewish from Russia
